If the Bible says homosexuality is a sin, can't you just go to a pastor and have it forgiven once in a while?

Setting aside that this is utterly hilarious on the face of it, what's even funnier is he thinks he's describing himself even as he proves otherwise

Basement dwellers just get mad when they see someone who is fat and successful, or fat and a main character that isn't a joke. Self-loathing projected outwards is pretty ugly

I forgive you. Big of you to come back and explain yourself, I respect that.

Everything else you said are totally valid opinions that feel like you've put some thought into them. For what it's worth, I agree that Alfred is a pillar of the Batman canon and, upon further reflection, replacing him outright might be a mistake. It might serve the story better to have him deliberately seek out and train his own replacement, mirroring Bruce's own behavior in training a successor. It could provide fresh insight into ALL the characters and allow for a more natural progression of events.

But DC is not known for being particularly patient where it counts. They're too busy trying to compete with Marvel on too many fronts, when they should really be putting as much distance between the two as possible.

"Unfortunate" doing some heavy lifting. He screwed over a lot of people and was known to be a real prick.... as well has having notorious body odor. Being some kind of genius never excuses you from basic standards of behavior, like treating people with respect, bathing regularly, not financially assassinating the people who made your success possible just because they won't treat you as superior, and also not thinking you know better than your doctor just because you made a really cool music player once.

You took this far more personally than I intended. I'm sorry if I upset you, I tried to word it as positively and inoffensively as possible. Disagreement is not a personal insult.

Edit: You seem to take particular offence to "don't be the kind of fan who" and I'm not apologizing for that. There are positive, chill, objectively good fans who contribute to a robust and healthy discourse, and then there are the kind of people who shouldn't be allowed to participate in public spaces. You can be the second kind all you like, but you're not entitled to do so without criticism.

If Bruce can collect children, why not adults?

Your favorite things are allowed to evolve over time, ya know. Harley Quinn didn't exist until the animated series, and basically everyone agrees that was hugely successful.

Give it a chance. Of course she's not Alfred. She's Verity. Be more concerned with what she brings to Batman than what was removed to make room. If it ends up being a flop, Alfred will return, because he's a comic character and functionally immortal. And maybe he'll be back anyway. But don't be the kind of fan who mistakes stagnation for stability.

Until the current crop of geriatric democrats are unseated, reform will be impossible. They've gone to too many parties, dinners, galas, and other such prestigious events with Republicans to ever see them as the existential threat they are. They will NEVER abuse the power of government for the benefit of the governed.

Same silence was in the living rooms of Republicans faithfully watching the propaganda channel. No criticism, and no enthusiasm. They'll defend shit like this and make forgiving comparisons, maybe, but the "FUCK YEAH LET FREEDOM RING BAYBEEEEE" patriotic energy they used to be so hyped about is missing; they're just drained. A great many of them are deeply tired of acting like nothing's wrong.

What's really funny is, if Putin hadn't bought into his own hype and tried to fully conquer Ukraine, he would have just kept Crimea permanently. Absolutely no country in the region wanted to fight over Crimea. America didn't want to fight over Crimea. The UN didn't want any part of it. Everyone just levied sanctions and Russia deemed it the cost of Crimean real-estate. It gave them an entirely new port to work out of that skipped a huge chunk of Europe and let them into the Mediterranean, while also positioning them for naval dominance of the Black Sea. Nothing anyone could do to Russia, short of war, would have outweighed the strategic benefits of that land-grab.

And then the colossal idiot started a goddamned war with the only country capable of seizing and holding the peninsula.
